U.S. Ambassador says Canadians are consuming an ‘unhealthy’ amount of American news

1. Trouble is it feels like america is often patient 0 for a lot of negative stuff. As an example, you see a lot of southern states moving backwards in trans rights, then it starts creeping backwards in other places too as bigots start to feel safer saying it in their own countries.

2. This is worldwide.

   Many acquaintances I have know way more about the local politics in choose whichever state in the US, than whatever is happening in their backyard.

   Yeah, make fun of the Americans that they do not know which countries are in Europe. Those people who do so don’t know either.

   I recall being with my Canadian girlfriend’s (who goes to another school) family, discussing politics with them on the dinner table. A surprising amount of it was dedicated to US internal politics.
